Meme Report 9/7
I Put In A Poll Because I Want To Hear From You
A Secret Third Thing
It must be hard to be so boring and view the world with such black and white thinking. Of course that’s not what these people are afraid of. They reveal themselves as one of the two things in their tweet, it’s up to us to figure out which one they are. The world doesn’t have to be this way but their inability to imagine and name the third thing they are, means they’re one of the two. There is no secret third thing. The third thing is glaringly obvious to the rest of us, but we don’t have to tell them, they’re not really interested in the answer.
Leonardo DiCaprio Breaking Up With His Girlfriend
I’m a big believer in celebrity brain. I believe that a child star who has achieved life long success in the Entertainment Industry is not equivalent to a regular 40 year old man. I think it’s fun to make fun of Leonardo DiCaprio but I do not fault him for only dating models until they turn 25. Those girls have outgrown him and it's painfully obvious to all involved. But it’s always fun when someone delivers on the promise of the premise. He’s been with this girl since we figured out his little game and I’m glad we all got to cheer and yell when the punch line came.
Rings of Power Video
Every single person in this video is really giving it their all. They are… acting. I would watch 4 hours of it with new people. I can’t believe it’s real. It looks like a College Humor short from 2012. Any caption makes me laugh. The way the one guy moves his hand at the end. I want to play it at parties and have everyone guess what the characters' names are. I never want to watch the show or learn more about it. I want to watch the video 8,000 more times.
Chris Pine at Don’t Worry Darling Premiere
There’s nothing like a good solid meme you can sink your teeth into. Especially from an ongoing media circus. The Don’t Worry Darling press tour finally has everything. A feud, a scandal, a divorce, a pop star, Nick Kroll, and a meme. This is the best movie ever. I hope I live long enough to see the season of Feud about this. The meme is good, Chris Pine is the silent jury in the court of public opinion where Florence v Olivia v Harry is happening. So far he's unimpressed.

Oh My Goodness Oh My Damn

Ok so literally not one person heeded my warning about schmoyoho and instead we’re actually going back through the archive. History is repeating itself and they are once again going HAM (Hard As a Motherfucker, for the uninitiated). It’s 2011 all over again. This is not the worst one to pull from the archive. I like when it’s in reference to choosing Ham the food. I think it’s funny, and in some cases apt to respond oh my goodness, oh my damn, to the choice of ham. This one gets a pass but we might be in for a long fall of Schmoyoho revivals, which will be bad and annoying.
Take My Time

This one is so fun. A little long but that’s fine if it’s in service to having a little fun. I love the occasional trend that you can do with your grandma or boss or dog. This one is so simple but I’m not going to say no to a video that ends with a cat wearing sunglasses.
Always Angry

This is what I look like all the time. I think I have a permanently furrowed brow so this filter really resonates with me. Welcome to the angry community everyone, try and see if you can keep up. Stay a while and enjoy your always angry filter. Remember for some of us, the filter never comes off.
A reel where Nick Kroll comments on all the “Don’t Worry” memes, but as Ruxin.
very fond of your take that the relationships with Leo actually end because they outgrow him! insightful as ever
